The OpenStack Charms team is delighted to announce the 19.07 charms release. This release brings several new features and improvements, including some for existing releases (Queens, Rocky, Stein) and many stable combinations of Ubuntu and OpenStack. Please see the Release Notes for full details: https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/1907.html == Highlights == * Percona Cluster Cold Start The percona-cluster charm now contains logic and actions to assist with operational tasks surrounding a database shutdown scenario. * DVR SNAT The neutron-openvswitch charm now supports deployment of DVR based routers with combined SNAT functionality, removing the need to use the neutron-gateway charm in some types of deployment. * Octavia Image Lifecycle Management A new octavia-diskimage-retrofit charm provides a tool for retrofitting cloud images for use as Octavia Amphora. * Nova Live Migration: Streamline SSH Host Key Handling The nova-cloud-controller charm has improved the host key discovery and distribution algorithm. This will make the addition of a nova-compute unit faster and the nova-cloud-controller upgrade-charm hook will be significantly improved for large deployments. == OpenStack Charms team == The OpenStack Charms development team can be contacted on the #openstack-charms IRC channel on Freenode. The team will also be represented at the Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG events in Shanghai (November, 2019). == Thank you == Huge thanks to the below 46 charm contributors who worked together to squash 48 bugs, to enable an entirely new charmed version of OpenStack, and to move the line forward on several key features!
